Kerry Washington’s ‘Patrol’ Script Bought By ABC

ABC is developing a new drama with one of the networks most trusted stars, Kerry Washington.

Variety has exclusively learned that the Scandal star is on board to executive produce Patrol, a workplace drama about four female LAPD officers who attended the police academy together five years ago and are forced to reconnect after a high-stakes, traumatic secret returns to haunt them.

The project marks the first to fall under Washingtons new overall deal with ABC, which she inked this April to develop new projects for ABC Studios  the studio behind Patrol.
